-Power sockets the EPIC lacks (requires power source like V-mount battery)
-Provides BNC connectors for HD-SDI (the current EPIC BNC is located in a difficult to get to spot and this is a very important BNC)
-SS/GPI; TC; GENLOCK BNC's (rather than the small 4 pin connector the EPIC uses)
-Milled to allow for backfocus adjustment
-Can work standalone or with the Power Distributor
-Swiss made with 7075 aircraft grade aluminum
-Redesigned to work properly with shoulder mounts (new design reroutes all cords away from your face)

-2 x 3.5mm jack plug to Pro XLR at rear
-Audio wires ran through the inside of the plate, protecting them and keeping them out of the way
-Swiss made with Aircraft 7075 grade aluminum
-Redesigned as smaller, modular accessory, to allow easier access to all cables

Also featuring a safety latch, this adapter plate ensures extremely quick and smooth transitions between various camera set ups, while giving you peace of mind with your equipment. Mount directly onto our ShoulderMount pad, any tripod, Actioncam/steamicam rig, or any dovetail mount for a more balanced set-up. Simply slide your bridgeplate off, and onto another setup!

The EPIC TopPlate comes with 3 cables, making it ready to go right out of the box. This plate utilizes a power D-TAP cable, HDSDI BNC cable, and a 4 pin LEMO cable. This allows for the unit to work standalone, or along side our upcoming EPIC Power Distributor with V-Mount/Gold Mounts.

If used standalone, you would just distribute the 3 cords accordingly…

1. D-TAP with any industry standard battery
2. HD-SDI BNC connecting into HDSDI port on the EPIC
3. 4 pin LEMO connecting in the SYNC port on the EPIC

When used with our EPIC Power Distributor, all the cords will be neatly tucked away.

Here is some more information on what functionality is brought to our EPIC TopPlate utilizing the 4 pin LEMO in the EPIC’s sync port…
“A 4-pin LEMO connector supports shutter synchronization input, GPI, timecode and genlock signals.
The shutter Sync Input signal acts as an immediate response hardware trigger to commence a scan. This is useful for motion control and other applications where the camera is driven by a master timing device. When using SYNC as the camera shutter timing reference, fine shutter start time timing (SHUTTER PHASE) is disabled, make any timing adjustments at the external SYNC generator itself.
Alternatively, this input pin may be used as a GPI (General Purpose Input) trigger, whose function is programmed in the USER KEYS menu. Default is Record Start / Stop.
A SMPTE timecode input signal provides a frame accurate time stamp for each frame of recorded video.
A Video Genlock input signal may be used as a vertical interval reference signal for applications that require precise synchronization between cameras, such as 3D and live broadcasts. When using GENLOCK as the camera shutter timing reference, fine shutter start time timing (SHUTTER PHASE) may be adjusted.” From RED EPIC Operation Guide.

Here's a picture where our EPIC utilizes the TopPlate and V-Mount/Gold Mount, but also shows our other accessories. (all accessories will be anodized to match the EPIC in their finished version!)

Hello everyone! We've noticed some discussion about our upcoming EPIC V-mount/Gold Mount, and wanted to update everyone on its progress...

Unfortunately, we are still undergoing testing and manufacturing at the moment. However, we hope for this to be available in 6 weeks. As always, we will continue to keep everyone updated on its progress as its gets closer to completion.

The full ActionProducts setup! (the final product will be anodized Black to match)

Testing in the big top.

Stay tuned to our thread or blog for more updates!_________________Justin Goff

Hello Everyone! We have some updated information on our new and improved shoulder mount! The new shoulder mount will be available for purchase next week. The prices for some of the available packages are at the end of this post.

-Picture below shows it without handles on the rods but they can be purchased with it.
-Swiveled mounting bracket allows for diverse camera setups
-Compatible with any dovetail or tripod plate with standard 3/8" and 1/4" threads
-Final product anodized to match the EPIC
-Made with Swiss 7075 aircraft grade aluminum
-Available next week

Here is the standard setup (shoulder mount with Arri Adapter Plate). Configured in a way to put most of the camera weight directly over your shoulder. Our Arri Adapter Plate however offers a very narrow setup for use with any arri compatible bridge plates (Arri, RED, ET ...). Regular plates are normally thicker and therefore further away from the bridge plate.

Introducing the modular solution for the EPIC from ActionProducts. This modular system allows operators to add and remove modules using quick release technology to quickly alter functionality on the fly based on their needs. The current modules include the Basic Module “Proteus,” Power Module “Electra,” and Battery Module.

PRE-ORDER 11 - 7 - 11

Basic Module “Proteus”: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with quick release functionality. The Proteus will run power to the camera while allowing operators to power their REDMOTE through a 5V connector (optional cable to Mini USB and other connectors). There is also an easy access 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, followed by an additional LEMO connector on the bottom that provides 12V power or (optional) a remote adapter to trigger on/off of the camera ("Schmitt" interface). Quick release power solution

5V(internal down conversion from 12V to 5V)

Charges REDMOTE

12V power out (or option for remote camera on/off)

Mount Battery Module directly or though Power Module “Electra”

Cheese-plate in production

[URL="http://www.innocinema.com/product_info.php?products_id=161"]TopPlate Module "Apollo":[/URL] Its the ultimate tool for efficiency. With numerous mounting options, it provides both power and video distribution. This allows for easy rigging for all camera accessories and considers all sizes of production with its video I/O. The EPIC TopPlate "Apollo" comes with 3 cables, making it ready to go right out of the box. This plate utilizes a power D-TAP cable, HDSDI BNC cable, and a 4 pin LEMO cable. This allows for the unit to work standalone, or along side our Basic Module “Proteus”.

If used with the “Proteus”, you would just distribute the 3 cords accordingly…

3 pin Lemo plugged into the "Proteus"

HD-SDI BNC ran through the "Proteus" connecting into HDSDI port on the EPIC

4 pin Lemo ran through the "Proteus" connecting in the SYNC port on the EPIC

Power Module “Electra”: Its main functionality is to provide a professional power distribution and functionality. The module offers several 12V accessory connections (2x D-Tap (one on the battery plate), 2x LEMO) and a down-converted 24V accessory connection (3pin Fischer RS). Further two external camera power connectors (both in/out power) - these are 1x 4pin XLR and 1x 6pin LEMO (REDone standard). The Electra has a built in puffer battery that can power the camera AND accessories for up to 4 minutes. Allowing hot swap functionality wile the camera (and accessories) keep running. The puffer battery can be manually triggered and automatically switches back to the new battery. It also recharges automatically when a new battery is mounted. The main power button provides "system off" function and switching to the puffer battery.

Puffer Battery (can power Camera and Accessories up to 4 min.)
- LED shows when Battery power is low and the operator needs to switch to the puffer-battery
- LED shows when puffer Battery is on or when it is charging.

Can connect a battery mount directly to Electra (hardwired V-Mount or AB) - or add an Adapter module and then the Battery module (for quick swapping - V-Mount and AB mount available - other to come ...).

Battery Module: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with V-mount and Anton / Bauer battery mounting options (others to come ...). This makes operator’s setups flexible to mount to the “Electra or Proteus." They connect without cable directly through the module connectors. The Battery module (and actually also the electra) can be disconnected from the basic from the other modules and reconnected over cables of different lengths. This allows external mounting for counter-weight etc. There will be several mounting options available - 15mm and 19mm rod mounts (with swivel), swivel for the razor shoulder-mount etc.
